Sobre este artículo
London: Thornton Butterworth, Ltd., 1933. Hardcover. This book is a collection of 23 engaging essays by Churchill on an incredibly wide variety of subjects. From the original front flap blurb: "Whether he is dealing with personal reminiscences, or telling us his views on any subject under the sun, Mr. Churchill stamps the page with his own vivid personality." Thornton Butterworth published the first edition in 1932. Less than a year later, Thornton Butterworth issued the "Keystone Library" edition from first edition plates.
There were two Keystone Library printings (1933 and 1934) and multiple binding variants or "states". With jacketed first British editions now extravagantly rare and extraordinarily expensive, this first edition, first printing of the original publisher's Keystone Library issue is an attractive alternative.
Here is a very good copy of the first Keystone Library issue, first printing, second binding state in very good original dust jacket. The scarce and striking dust jacket is highly complete with only fractional loss at the spine ends and corners. The spine is toned with wear and closed tears at the hinges. The flap folds also show wear and some soiling. The dust jacket is protected in a removable, archival quality clear cover. The dark green cloth binding remains tight and unfaded with bright spine gilt and only light wear at the spine ends and corners. The contents remain crisp, with no previous ownership marks. Transfer browning to the endpapers corresponding to the dust jacket flaps confirms that this copy has spent its life jacketed. Spotting appears confined to the prelims and page edges.
